What pressure should I set my well pump pressure switch to?

• <div><p>Most well pump pressure switches have a factory setting of 30 to 50 PSI. There’s some flexibility with this if you’d like a lower or higher water pressure, but remember that it should sit 2 to 3 PSI above your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-pressure-should-my-well-tank-be.htm">well tank’s general pressure</a> setting.</p><p>The inside of your pressure switch cover will usually indicate minimum and maximum settings—going below and above the numbers might damage your well pump.</p></div>

Q: What is the price range for fixing a malfunctioning well pump?

• <div><p>Repair costs range from $200 to $1,200, depending on the issue and pump type.</p></div>

Q: When should I replace my well pump?

• <div><p>Consider replacement if the pump is over 10 years old or has recurring, costly issues.</p></div>

Q: How much psi should be in a pressure tank?

• <div><p>The precharged pressure tank should start at around 28 psi. The two pressure settings of note are the cut-in and cut-out pressure. The well pump starts when the tank reaches the minimum cut-in pressure. It turns off when the tank reaches the maximum cut-out pressure. The desired water pressure in the household is usually a few psi above the cut-in number. The difference between the cut-in and cut-out pressure settings should be 20 psi. Typical settings for household applications include 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60.</p></div>

Q: Can I overdraw my well water?

• <div><p>If you have a small well or a particularly high water demand, it&rsquo;s possible to overuse your well. How quickly a well replenishes depends on its water source. In this case, you may want to purchase a water storage tank that you can fill from the well in off-hours, or if you&rsquo;re planning to build a new well and you expect a large water demand, you may want to build a deeper well to match your needs.</p></div>
